It takes a special couple to give up control on all of the decisions about their wedding.  Imagine not being able to chose your wedding gown, venue, flowers, cake, invitations, tuxes…but instead, leaving those decisions in the hands of complete strangers.  I certainly couldn’t have given up that much control!  But Lauren and Archie, the winners of the Dream Wedding Giveaway with the Everyday Show and VOWS are perfectly content with the decisions that have been made by the shows viewers.  Clearly these two understand that all of those little details about a wedding aren’t the most important part…although they certainly are a lot of fun to plan!  Lauren and Archie see the bigger picture.  Their wedding day won’t be about all of the little things…but instead it will be a huge celebration of their love with their amazing friends and families standing witness.

Most couples spend a year planning their big day.  After nearly 20,000 votes had been tallied and Lauren and Archie were chosen as the winners of the dream wedding, the whirlwind began.  Lauren was quickly taken to try on wedding dresses, venues were chosen, invitations were picked…and within about two months time every decision will have been made and the wedding day will be here.  All the while, Lauren and Archie have been enjoying the ride and getting more and more excited for their big day.

Andrew and I had such a great time photographing Lauren and Archie’s engagement pictures yesterday!  We hit the streets of Cherry Creek and must of looked like the paparazzi.  Andrew and I were both shooting and we were joined by the very talented Jeff Siebert with 1321 Studios Videography and a camera crew from the Everyday Show.  On a side note, definitely go check out Lauren and Archie’s Save the Dave video from 1321 Studios Videography…it’s amazing!  Even with all of those cameras, Lauren and Archie were completely comfortable and did such a great job!  Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the session…enjoy!

Lauren is gorgeous and she is going to make such a stunning bride!

I love the sly look that Archie is giving the camera in this picture!

Lauren was looking extra beautiful thanks to Janine Schmenk with Makeup by Janine and Bre Osa with Salon by Bre…

I love the picture of them laughing on the left…so cute.

Seriously…you guys are such an adorable couple.

We headed to a nearby park for a few more pictures before the skies opened up…

Lauren and Archie – we couldn’t be happier or more excited for the two of you and we can’t wait for the wedding next month at Cielo at Castle Pines!  It’s going to be a blast! :)

Much Love ~ Jessica (and Andrew too!)
